Battle Through the Heavens: Reborn into the Xiao Family, Starting with Xiao Xuan's Inheritance

Chapter 62: The Plan Moves Ahead, Entering the Inner Courtyard

Hu Qian looked at the two people from the Xiao family.

My heart skipped a beat.

If he remembers correctly.

When these two entered the academy, one was only a seven-star Dou Zhe, and the other was only a one-star Dou Shi.

But now, in just one month, he has become a Battle Master, and a Grand Battle Master?

Such a speed of upgrade is something Hu Qian has never seen in his life!

This speed was truly terrifying in Hu Qian's eyes. These two couldn't simply be called geniuses; they were practically "monsters."

That's right—

And then they heard Hu Qian's shocked voice.

Wu Hao also walked towards Xiao Yi with a surprised expression.

"Bro!? You've become a Grand Battle Master?"

"Don't you dare lie to me! A month ago, you were just a beginner in martial arts—"

Xiao Yi simply smiled slightly: "It was just a lucky breakthrough—"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao's spirits plummeted.

After all, there's an old saying that applies everywhere.

I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm even more afraid he's driving a Range Rover.

Wu Hao at this moment perfectly embodies this old saying.

After all, when the two first met upon entering the academy, they were only one realm apart.

In just one month, the difference in their cultivation levels has become so vast.

Xiao Yi has already broken through to the Great Dou Master level, while Wu Hao is still struggling to reach the Nine-Star Dou Zhe level.

After a moment, Hu Qian, having regained his senses, spoke again in a deep voice, "Alright, alright—"

"The monthly assessment for the elite class still needs to be conducted—"

"The purpose of this assessment is to check everyone's recent training progress—"

"There are only four of you in this elite class, so the assessment is extremely simple—"

"The one-on-one sparring will be the content of this assessment!"

Hu Qian paused for a moment before continuing, "Hu Jia, why don't you have a match with Xun'er—"

"Wu Hao, your opponent is Xiao Yi—"

"Let's begin—"

At Hu Qian's command, Hu Jia eagerly looked at Xun'er, cupped his hands and said, "Sister Xun'er, I'm so sorry for offending you—"

As soon as Hu Jia finished speaking, a pale blue battle aura began to swirl around her fingertips.

Xun'er stood three zhang away, her plain white skirt fluttering slightly as her fighting spirit propelled her.

The golden battle aura condensing at his fingertips resembled newly formed dewdrops.

Xun'er nodded slightly: "Sister Hu Jia, please give me your guidance."

Before he could finish speaking...

Hu Jia darted out like a cheetah, her azure fighting spirit transforming into two long azure staffs in her palms, slashing diagonally with a sharp whooshing sound.

However, Xun'er lightly touched the ground with her toes, her figure swaying half a foot horizontally like a willow catkin, dodging the long staff. At the same time, the golden fighting spirit at her fingertips suddenly surged, transforming into a slender light whip that lashed towards Hu Jia's waist.

"Well done!"

Hu Jia let out a low shout and stomped his left foot hard on the ground, his azure fighting spirit condensing into a wooden shield half a zhang wide in front of him.

With a crisp "snap," the whip struck the wooden shield, causing ripples to spread across it, but ultimately failed to break through.

In that instant, Hu Jia kicked with her right foot, and the wooden shield suddenly transformed into countless blue rays of light, which covered Xun'er like a net.

Xun'er's eyes narrowed slightly, and instead of retreating, she advanced.

He placed his palms together, and golden battle qi flowed along the lines of his arms.

A large golden net was woven in front of it.

The faint light formed by Hu Jia's azure battle aura struck the golden net, but was immediately weakened by the softened battle aura, losing its luster and dissipating.

Just as Hu Jia's old strength was exhausted and new strength had not yet arisen, Xun'er flicked her wrist, and the giant net suddenly spread out, with thousands of golden light spots shooting towards Hu Jia like a rainstorm.

Hu Jia's pupils contracted, and he quickly gathered all his fighting spirit to protect himself.

Even so, Hu Jia was still unable to resist and her body kept retreating.

"I surrender—"

The next second, Hu Jia raised his right hand, indicating that he had given up.

At the same time, Xun'er stopped her attack and smiled gently: "Thank you for the concession—"

Wu Hao, who had just witnessed the fight between the two, gaped wide-eyed and turned to Xiao Yi, whispering, "Brother, are all the monsters in your Xiao family like this?!"

"Xun'er and Hu Jia are both one-star Dou Shi, so why did Xun'er seem to have a completely overwhelming advantage just now?"

"This is terrifying!"

Xiao Yi remained silent, only glancing at Wu Hao with a slight smile.

Hu Qian wasn't surprised at all when he saw Hu Jia lose.

Because Hu Qian had already foreseen the outcome from the moment the two first clashed.

Although the two are at the same level, Xun'er's control over the timing of battle is far superior to Hu Jia's.

This alone is enough to determine that Hu Jia has no chance of defeating Xun Er.

"Next group, Wu Hao, Xiao Yi, you two go up—"

Hu Qian spoke in a deep voice.

Xiao Yi also smiled and took a few steps back to create some distance.

Wu Hao, on the other hand, had a look of utter despair.

The next second, Wu Hao raised his hands and looked at Hu Qian, saying, "Dean! Can I just admit defeat?"

"Xiao Yi is already a Great Dou Shi, and I'm just a Dou Zhe. How am I supposed to fight him—"

"If you resort to violence, wouldn't that just make me look bad?"

"I choose to admit defeat outright—"

Seeing Wu Hao's expression of utter despair, Hu Qian could only sigh helplessly.

He nodded.

After all, there is no point in a contest between a fighter and a master fighter.

"Wu Hao, you brat, if it weren't for your father's sake, I would have to teach you a lesson today!"

"Go back now! Cultivate diligently from now on! If your cultivation stagnates again next time, have Wu Tianlang take you back—"

Hu Qian looked at Wu Hao and said in a deep voice.

Wu Hao, however, still had a smile on his face and nodded in response.

"Definitely! Definitely!"

"Don't worry, Dean, I will definitely break through to the Dou Shi level by the next assessment—"

Seeing Wu Hao's carefree and laughing expression, Hu Qian shook his head helplessly and sighed.

She then turned to Xiao Yi and whispered, "Xiao Yi, Xun'er—"

"You two, come with me—"

Xiao Yi and Hu Qian exchanged a glance, then followed Hu Qian forward.

When they reached a secluded spot, Hu Qian finally stopped.

He turned to look at Xiao Yi, his eyes filled with admiration and appreciation for his talent.

"He broke through to the Great Dou Master level in such a short time!"

Such talent is truly rare in this world!

"Such talent for cultivation should not be wasted in the outer courtyard—"

"Xiao Yi, would you two be willing to enter the inner academy to study?"

Hu Qian then slowly spoke, revealing the true purpose of his trip.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi was initially taken aback: "The inner courtyard, of course we're willing—"

"But Dean, didn't you say before that only those who advance to the Dou Ling level are qualified to enter the Inner Academy ahead of time?!"

Hu Qian, however, smiled broadly and said, "Rules are rules, but people are flexible—"

"Aren't all rules made by people?"

"With your talent for cultivation, you'll only waste your time in the outer courtyard. Only the inner courtyard has the truly valuable things to help you cultivate."

Xiao Yi was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Dean!"

After all, he had been cultivating so diligently for the past month in order to advance to the Dou Ling level as soon as possible, so that he could enter the inner courtyard ahead of time and subdue the Fallen Heart Flame.

Looking at it now, the plan has been brought forward—
